The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an urgent warning to parents following the tragic death of a 17-month-old child. The alert concerns the WPX4 Slide Playset, manufactured by Wenzhou Yidian Amusement Company in China. The playset includes openings that can trap a child’s head or neck, leading to the risk of serious injury or even death. The manufacturer has not agreed to a formal recall, so officials urge anyone with the playset to stop using it immediately and not to sell, donate, or give it away. Parents can confirm if their playset is affected by checking for the model number WPX4 and the manufacturer’s name.
